Behavioral traps represent one of the most important obstacles to the successful implementation of the skills taught in traditional corporate finance courses. When it comes to improving the financial decision process, understanding these traps is absolutely essential. This course identifies the key psychological obstacles to value maximizing behavior, along with steps that managers can take to mitigate the effects of these obstacles. The objective of the course is to help students learn how to put the traditional tools of corporate finance to their best use, and mitigate the effects of psychological obstacles that reduce value.
Prerequisites: FNCE 451 and FNCE 455

Using core readings and in-depth case analysis, the course will introduce and apply the guiding principles of B2B Marketing, which include using value as the cornerstone for decision-making, focusing on business processes and the business as a "buying center" with the various roles of participants, stressing business across borders, and accentuating working relationships and business networks. Through this course, students will also develop critical analytical and problem solving skills for a variety of business marketing situations.
